Summary
There are some pivotal GW25 fixtures yet to play, with Arsenal and Liverpool able to turn the tide of a relatively lackluster weekend. While we await the fates of Saka and Salah, the Cheaters turn their attention to more upcoming chaos with new doubles in both GW27 and GW29. The midweek FA Cup Fifth Round will determine how the fixture calendar fully takes shape—which will in turn direct our FPL strategy—but what we do know for sure is that Brighton and Brentford bounce back from their blanks this weekend with a series of doubles, making players like Ivan Toney and Kaoru Mitoma especially good picks. Plus we take a closer look at GW26 and the data behind the key captaincy picks. Hail Cheaters!

| 0:00.0 | Hey, L cheaters. Welcome from the Green Zone, Brandon, We're recording from the war zone that is game week 25. This is a dispatch. We're five, six of the way through. We still have two matches left to go in this wild game week. I spent, first of all, my name is Josh. I'm here with Brandon. Brandon, how are you? I'm good. I'm here with my khaki vest with lots of pockets. I'm trying to think of what other things, foreign war correspondence, where, you know, FPL points are whizzing by our heads as we talk. It's very chaotic. Yeah, yeah, we're not, yeah, we're not catching any of those points. Those are other, I don't know who is, Yeah. It's the one war zone where I'd love to get hit once in a while. |
| 0:58.3 | Yeah. |
| 0:58.6 | When Junior Furpo is the leading, like the leading player for an FPL game make, you know, |
| 1:05.3 | it's been a little a little chaotic so far, Brandon. |
| 1:08.1 | Oh, for sure. |
| 1:09.1 | And we were kind of like looking at the results from this |
| 1:12.0 | weekend, you know, through our, through our, through our, through our memories and thinking, |
| 1:17.1 | were there good matches? I mean, we, there were some interesting results, but what were, |
| 1:21.5 | it was not a weekend of standout moments necessarily. I thought, kind of unlike last weekend, right? |
| 1:28.8 | Because last weekend we had, it was another, like, not bad. |
| 1:31.9 | We're kind of in three weeks, three weeks in a row of, ew, boy, FPL game weeks. |
| 1:37.2 | It's like, ooh, okay, all right. |
| 1:40.2 | Arsenal caught a case of trying to walk it into the goal during the first half of that Lester match. |
| 1:47.8 | And it was kind of fun to see. |
| 1:49.0 | It was very retro Arsenal. |
| 1:50.7 | That was like Venger constantly trying to get his latter teams just to walk it in. |
| 1:56.5 | Man City back to their sort of old ways of just steamrolling opponents. I think Bournemouth has made |
| 2:02.5 | its case for they have to be the greatest whipping boys in the Premier League. I think this is not |
| 2:09.0 | been a banner season for whipping boy teams. Well, the thing is they're not even bottom the, |
| 2:14.5 | they're not even bottom the table, right? Southampton are bottom of the table. True. bormmouth are tied with everton and only one back of lead so it's it's kind of weird |
| 2:22.6 | like we're southampton is the only team i feel quite confident is is going to go down but even then |
| 2:28.7 | let's let's let's let's see what happens i think it's uh i i i the very think we, I, every year you kind of hope you're going to get the bottom of the table clash and the top of the table clash to end the season. It's a very rare thing. I think the first year I really was like kind of all in, like back in the 2010-11 season. That was maybe the last time you had it. That was when Arsenal, or that was the Man City season, right?, right? Where they, you know, they won their, actually, no, yeah, it's actually the next year was 11, 12, when Man City won. And then the year before that, 1011 is when you had the crazy bottom of the table was like five clubs, Birmingham City. And, but, you know, the stakes really are so high because Birmingham City went down that year have still not been back up. |
